Sticking drum There would appear to be something jamming inside the drum. On manually turning the drum it sticks and needs extra force to get it past the obstruction. This results in horrendous noise on spin cycle. How do you get behind the drum??

Follow the steps below to clear the paper jam.

1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.
2. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer.
3. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover.
4. Pull out the drum unit assembly. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer. If you cannot remove the drum unit assembly easily at this time, do not use extra force. Instead, pull the edge of the jammed paper from the paper tray. To prevent damage to the printer caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown below.
   
5. Open the back output tray. Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit. If the paper jam can be cleared, go to Step 7. After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer are extremely hot! Wait for the printer to cool down before you touch the internal parts of the printer.
   
6. Open the jam clear cover. Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
7. Close the jam clear cover. Close the back output tray.
8. Push the lock lever down and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly. Take out the jammed paper if there is any inside the drum unit.
9. Put the drum unit assembly back in the printer.
10. Put the paper tray in the printer.
11. Close the front cover.

When I had this problem in the past I was able to adjust the brakes. If the brake shoes are adjusted out to far they will hang on the drum. There should be a oblong hole behind the plate to stick a screwdriver or brake adjustment tool in to turn the adjustment wheel inside, may be a rubber plug in the hole. Adjust the brake shoe back in to release the friction between shoe and drum. I have had for the most parts American made cars other vehicles may adjust the shoes differently.

Something is jammed inside. You can try leaning the PC down toward its face and pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button a few times to try and dislodge the object.....

(Q: do you have kids? This happened to me once after my CD drive was "fed".....)

If the object falls out, you should be OK.

One last thing you can try....

When the tray is sticking at least partially out, lean the PC over as far as you can and pull the tray out fully... you will feel some resistance, but do not force it. When it is fully extended, see if anything is jammed inside it- you may need a flashlight and another set of hands....

If not, the drive needs to be removed to get the object out.

Clear the jammed paper as follows.

If the jammed paper is removed completely by using the information in the following steps, you can install the paper tray first, and then close the front cover and the printer will resume printing automatically.



If the printer does not start printing automatically, press the Go button. If the printer still does not start printing, please check that all the remaining jammed paper has been removed from the printer. Then try printing again.

It sounds like the belt that goes around the drum. I have a similar Kenmore, and I get that same rotational thumping noise. The belt is probably about to break or come apart. If you take it off and run it trough your hands, I think that you'll find either belt separation, or a bad spot missing a chunk.
Fortunately the belt is a cheap item. I've kept my Kenmore dryer running over 20 years now.
